ria's Note Evasive.
LONDON, July 18.-Replies of the powers
to Bulgarias note asking their approval of
the election of Prince Ferdinand of Sake
Coburg- Gotha as Prince of Bulgaria, are
evasive.
A correspondent at Vienna has had an I'm
terview with Prince Ferdinand, Of Saxe-Co-
burg-Gotha. The Prince said he had not
decided whether he would go to st. Peters
burg to personally request Russian recogni-
ton of his election to the Bulgarian throne.
He would not allow himself to be enticed
into taking any course that would
be likely to further estrange Russia and Bul-
garia. He said he was disappointed that
Prince Alexander had omitted to congratu-
late him, on his election to the vacant
throne.

cupancy of the Bulgarian throne by Prince

ENGLAND AND EGYPT.
A Blue Book Issued Detailing the Ne
gotiations.

LONDON, July 1S-Kiamil PaSha, the
Grand Vizier, has resigned. His resig
nation was in consequence of a violent
article published in the Mjzam attacking the
Grand Vizier, Cabinet and the whole ad-
ministration, which was inspired by the Sui
tan in order to excite public Indignation
against them, and thus cover his own re-
sponsibility in connection with the Egyptian
convention.
The Sultan, through Herr Won Radowitz,
the German Ambassador, and by direct
messenger, tried to persuade Sir II. d.
Wolff, the British Commissioner, to post
pone his departure from Constantinople.
In his latest dispatch, Lord Salisbury re-
fused to modify the Egyptian convention.
There are rumors Of coming changes in the
Ministry.
A Bluebook has Just been published giving
the particulars of the Egyptian mission of
Sir II. d. Wolff and the tenet of the
Egyptian convention. Dispatches show
that the Italian and Austrian representa-
tives at Constantinople cordially assisted
the British Commissioner throughout,
and that Lord Salisbury thanked both
governments for their friendly
services. The French Ambassador, it ap-
pears, protested that France could in no
way take part in the negotiations NJ Nell
doff, the Russian Ambassador, informed the
representative of Great Britain at an early
stage of the negotiations that Russia's policy
as regarded Egypt was to maintain the
Sultan's sovereign rights and prevent their
being infringed. He further said that Rus
sla regarded status quo with less disfavor
than the convention scheme. Lord Sails
bury, in his dispatches to the Sultan, effu-
sively thanked him for approving the con-
vention, which he said would powerfully
uphold the integrity of the Turkish
Empire. The text of the convention agrees
with the forecasts that have been made.
Lord Rosebery, speaking at Liberal
banquet tonight, declared that Sir H.
D. Wolff had made England's name and
honor laughing stock in the back quarters
of Constantinople

Work to be Tested.
CHICAGO, July 18-Michael Reirke, a
practical maltster, has brought suit in the
Circuit Court against the International Beer
Brewers and Maltster Union No. /, of this
city, and Peter Jung, an official of the union,
claiming $4,000. The allegation is that
through the agency of the union and the eff
forts of Jung, Maltster Rerke has suffered
deprivation of employment and been pre-
vented from securing any work in this city
at his trade II is represented that Reirke
is an expert in his business. He learned his
trade in Germany and is proficient in all the
processes of beer making. He came to this
country some years ago, and until June 3 last
was a valued employe of the brewing COM
pany. Prior to that time he was also
member of the Brewers and Matltsers Union,
but fell behind in his dues few payments.
He was notified of this and, it is alleged,
made tender to the union Of his dues but
1t is said the officials refused TO accept the
money and dismissed him from the union
Then Jung, it is alleged, in the capacity Of
"walking delegate" visited the brewery
where Reirke was employed and demanded
his discharge on pain of causing "a general
strike. 1t Is alleged that Jung told the
foreman of the brewery that unless Reirke
was discharged he would call off all mem
bers of the union employed at the brewery
and stop work. Reirke was given his walk
ing papers, and has been unable to obtain
employment since. He sues to recover the
full amount of wages he would have earned
during his period of enforced idleness.

belonging to the liberal press turned their
column rules to-day and published long ar
tices eulogistic of the dead patriot. The

mics of President Juarez, protesting ener-
getically against the assertion of the Clerical
press that to-morrow's manifestation is an
anti-Catholic demonstration. II says that

and renegades. They are traitors, the paper
says, who i'll reviving ancient feuds and
hatred insult the heroes of liberty and the
fatherland.

liberty of the press. 1t is intimated that

vent popular outburst against EI Tempo

of causing total suspension of the working
